TV: Sherlock

All three cases from the second (Cumber)batch of updated Holmes stories are still online – but the first two only until Sunday. Download and enjoy if you've yet to crack A Scandal In Belgravia, The Hounds Of Baskerville or The Reichenbach Fall. Strong support for the polymath detective comes from Martin Freeman, and guests such as Katherine Parkinson (pictured right).

Film: 22 Free Hitchcock Movies Online

With early films dropping out of copyright and into the public domain, there are some interesting gems to be found online. Openculture.com is a good place to search for free movies, as their recent roundup of Alfred Hitchcock's work proves. It's a fascinating archive that includes links to The Manxman (1929), his last silent film, as well as features such as Blackmail (1929), Sabotage (1936) and the first version of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), starring Peter Lorre.

TV: Body Of Proof

Dana Delaney plays a "brilliant neurosurgeon turned medical examiner" (basically she gets to talk like Sherlock and House when she shows up at crime scenes). Features Jeri Ryan (Seven Of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager) and Sonja Sohn (Kima from The Wire).

TV: Stargazing Live

OK, the sky might have moved a bit since last week, but there are some great insights and real enthusiasm for astronomy here, with Brian Cox showing Dara O Briain around the solar system, pointing out how to spot a black hole and cheerfully predicting the death of the sun (don't worry, we've got a few billion years left). The first episode is available until Wednesday.
